The Master - Part 4

Narrative Pincer

The Master explores Donald Trump’s mastery of Narrative Warfare, his Narrative Fighting Style and his importance to the Sovereign Alliance in this Fifth-Generation War against the Globalist Deep State. Start the series with Part 1.

I talk about stories a lot at Burning Bright.

Their power and their ubiquity in the history of Man.

We may use more intellectual, complex terms more often, as we in this community attempt to parse a Fifth-Generation Information War the likes of which we have never seen before, replacing ‘story’ and ‘myth’ with terms such as ‘narrative’ and ‘paradigm,’ but at the end of the day, my focus on the Mind War is on the story—the one we’re being told and the one we’re being sold.

And every Macro story is made up of myriad Micro stories—interlocking narrative deployments that range from the true to the false to everything in between—that serve to either obfuscate or illuminate a given topic at hand, all in service to or to the detriment of the Collective Mind of American society—even world society—that patriots are attempting to free, if not to save from the sins and pride of the deluded, ignorant and sometimes willfully-blind self.

And, tired as the assertion may get for those of you who’ve been following me for some time, or engaging with my podcast appearances, I will continue to drive home the truism that stories are only as good as their central characters.

From heroes to villains, stories are brought to life by the characters that inhabit them because characters embody the themes and intentions of the guiding hand of the narrative. They represent the soul of the work, and communicate its meaning to the reader, while the world and even the plot serve as vehicles to deliver those characters and their trials and tribulations to the observing mind.

There isn’t anything magical about this—okay, so maybe it’s a LITTLE bit magical—but the concept is rooted in the human psyche, specifically in human empathy. Put simply, humans imprint on other humans, identify with other humans and have an ability to assign emotion to other humans in a way they cannot do with concepts, events and even paradigms.

While western culture is overflowing with compelling—both for good and ill—characters in the realm of fiction, many of the most fascinating characters occupying the Collective Mind today exist in the realm of the real, even if their Narrative Deployments, actions and reactions in the public story we are being told and sold simultaneously often take on a fictional, metaphorical and symbolic bent.

I would argue that this is very much by design, and if you’ve had any doubts about that, consider the ‘character’ Donald Trump portrays to both his supporters and detractors, and contrast the image with the stable genius that many of us know him to be based on the net effects of his Narrative Deployments, which we covered extensively in a two-parter that started with ‘The Master’ and continued with last week’s ‘Counter Strike.’

Taken together, I believe these pieces highlight the genius not just of Trump the storyteller, but of Trump the character. This is a character built by and atop the man and the mind beneath it that has turned the War of Stories back around on the Controllers, the illusionists within the Collectivist Deep State and the powers that would be, reversing the Hegelian Dialectic and using [their] own psychological techniques against them in order to obfuscate and illuminate in a manner that nets out as a positive paradigm-shifter for those who follow him.

But Donald Trump is far from the only character on the board, and he’s far from the only ‘good’ one, pushing the paradigm in the direction we need it to be pushed in.

As I commented last time:

And there are few storytellers with a better grasp on the push-pull, yin-yang of the Collective Mind of American society than Donald Trump. In fact, the only one I might put forward as having a similar claim as a zeitgeist-moving, paradigm-shifting public figure is Elon Musk, which we’ll discuss in greater detail next week.

What a happy coincidence, then, that these two enigmatic, powerful—both Actually and Narratively/Potentially—public figures seem to be furthering complementary objectives in this ongoing Information War.

It is safe to say that, while his own Narrative Fighting Style has some key differences to Donald Trump’s, Elon Musk is perhaps the most powerful character occupying the Collective Mind of the West other than—and sometimes even OVER—Trump himself.

Far from seeing him as some sort of threatening Judas Goat poised to shift the Collective Mind back in the direction of the Globalists, I see Musk as a firm psychological and narrative ally to Trump. More importantly, by observing the net effects of his own Narrative Deployments, and catching the repeated and accelerating mirrors between them and those of Trump, we begin to see that there is far more than simply mirroring between these two enigmatic and magnetic figures at the heart of the Culture War, the Mind War and the Information War, but also that there exists a deeper level of coordination than many have been willing to accept up to this point.

Of course, knowing that Elon Musk is the Department of Defense’s largest private contractor—contracts he was first granted by the Trump Administration—and knowing that said contracts involve the proprietary deployment, maintenance and security of U.S. Military Satellite Communications Infrastructure, it isn’t a risky take to suggest this coordination.

That said, the coordination I speak of today is less rooted in the ‘real,’ of military contracts and even communications platforms—from Starlink satellites to Twitter Files—but more in the ‘unreal’ represented by the Narrative Deployments of both men on the Game Theory game board.

I said last time out that Donald Trump is a Counter Striker, meaning he sets communication and narrative patterns in order to first gauge and later punish the reactions of his psychological opponents. This strategy has not only allowed him to frustrate and whip up the frenzy that is the self-immolating Media Industrial Complex, but it has also allowed him to do a masterful job in recent weeks of forcing the exposure of the wolves in sheep’s clothing represented by fake MAGA personalities and influencers and the blue check doom brigade we often refer to as Con Inc.

Musk wields narrative in a slightly different manner to Trump, often actioning his own deployments in more of a direct, offensive manner reminiscent of Trump’s early rise to political power in the American zeitgeist of 2015-16, wherein he left his counter-striking style to the side for an entertaining, captivating and utterly effective psychological bombing campaign meant to provoke the System of Systems into an immune response whose flare could be seen from mass psychological orbit.

Musk isn’t so much setting and breaking narrative patterns on Twitter as he is sniping at key figures, from the political to the media, frustrating, humiliating and further exposing the few ‘thought leaders’ that still exist to obfuscate and trick the Collective Mind, while provoking the same Media Industrial Complex that exhausted all of its psychological ammunition in its seven to eight-year blitzkrieg against Trump into picking up those discarded shells, stuffing them with charred, sodden narrative powder and loading them back into rusted, leaning canons they’re turning around on a man—on a thought leader himself—once ubiquitous with the sort of technological ‘progress’ they once extolled and even glorified.

We talk about wolves in sheep’s clothing with a negative bent around these parts, and for good reason, but Elon Musk is perhaps the greatest example of how this concept can and has in all likelihood been turned around on [them.]

He walked like one of them, talked like one of them—while preserving an ever-present shield of enigmatic charm—right up until he did not, and so, now he has been branded with the same emotionally-charged, venomous and ultimately ineffective brands as Trump before him.

Trump and his storytellers spent years mastering his Narrative Fighting Style so that he could force enemy moves, map their communications patterns and deliver effective counters. And all the while, I believe Musk was waiting in the wings, observing, learning and crafting the character—no doubt he had help in doing so—that would be injected into the middle of the Mind War at a time of great societal strife, tension and therefore opportunity in order to take the focus and the weight off of the Trump character, while furthering the same psychological end goals.

Even if their Narrative Fighting Styles are not direct mirrors of one another, Musk and Trump are running congruent deployments, hitting the same Systemic targets one after the other—Musk with directed mortars and memetic weight, while Trump has taken on a more measured, dare I say ‘Presidential’ demeanor.

Last week’s twin deployments against the censorious demons that have been infecting Big Tech and American communications systems and platforms for years—Musk continuing to seed and then drip out confirmation of many of the scandals and constitutional violations this community has projected for years as Trump followed up with a campaign address on Section 230 and an America First platform built on a renewal and restoration of First-Amendment protections—ran in parallel.

Call that a coincidence, if you will, but from where I’m sitting, we have one central character in this play planting seeds and watering them while the other harvests, all while they continue to play one of the more obvious bits of kayfabe or ‘fake opposition’ that we have seen in the Information War to date.

These deployments have been so effective and have resulted in such immediate Narrative Whiplash that the Media Industrial Complex and the useful idiots that subsist on its decaying carcass were left in the hilarious and unenviable position of throatily defending the very document—the very core American philosophy and foundation—they have spent their careers attempting to destabilize and destroy.

In the past, I have argued that, with patriots and Narrative War masters as capable as those it appears we have on our side, the enemy seems to work for us, even absent their own desires.

I have said many times that the Great Awakening appears to be using a three-act structure reminiscent of all the best stories that have long occupied the Collective Psyche:

Exposure. Disclosure. Justice.

The thing is, this story isn’t always linear, and in truth, these three acts are actually playing out simultaneously, even if that elusive ‘Justice’ phase is often obscured under layers of lawfare and media noise. That said, the first two phases are clearly the focus of the current Information War, and it appears that Elon Musk is focused on the continued ‘Exposure’ of the System of Systems while Donald Trump is gearing up for a more overt ‘Disclosure’ phase during his second Administration, with a GOP-led House likely doing significant legwork to that end in 2023.

Julian’s Rum, one of my favorite Anons to follow for years recently remarked that the Twitter Files are taking on the Narrative and psychological complexion of the Q Drops, going so far as to call them, ‘Q drops for Normies,’ and I think there is much wisdom in that take.

The Twitter Files and the Narrative Deployments of figures like Trump and Musk aren’t necessarily for this awake and awakening community; they are for our sleeping fellows, teaching them to pick up their intellectual picks and shovels for the first time while we shield our eyes from the sun, as we set ours down for the moment, gazing up out of the canyons of dark discovery to see others being prepped and primed to join us just as we seem set to delve into harder ground—perhaps even the bedrock that makes the System of Systems up.

These Narrative Deployments are not accidental. They are not correlated; they are coordinated.

And coordination leads to causation.

To me, the Narrative Pincer move we’re seeing develop between Trump and Musk is a thing of beauty, as it is not only resulting in predictable reactions from the Media Industrial Complex, but it’s creating incredible and effective tension within the reachable middle of the Collective Mind, even within those ideologically opposed to the core tenets of the MAGA/America First movement.

This reachable middle is getting hit from both sides, and now find themselves advocating for the very principles they would leave to the dustbin of western civilization.

No doubt many of us believe that everything we’re watching as we attempt to find the strings manipulating and giving life to the shadows on the wall has been planned long ago, and to our benefit rather than our detriment.

Elon Musk is the current vanguard in the public Information War, while Trump seems to be moving on the edges of the board.

The two are running congruent and complementary Narratives in an unacknowledged, but somewhat obvious Pincer Move, and while the Media Industrial Complex is their current focus, we are already getting hints as to the future direction of this psychological and informational alliance.

The mass exposure of the Deep State’s censorious mechanisms are simply priming the pump and clearing the board for the disclosures to come, with Musk acting as the public ‘digger’ as Trump lies in wait.

Taking stock of the game board through this lens, we see a potentially devolved President in waiting leading an awakened base of digital citizen information soldiers, while the Department of Defense’s largest contractor is wielding his newfound control over the public levers of communication to expose [them] and confuse their adherents at the same time.

But perhaps this succinct take from me on Truth Social sums up what I see as the ‘point’ of the show, and the point of it all:

Why?

It’s the ultimate question, and perhaps, for the first time in a long time, the right people are asking it alongside us, and independent of us.

Until next time, stay Positive, stay Based and most importantly … stay Bright.
